New Council replaces SAC on NE
By Larry Faschall
Managing Editor
NE Campus’ Student Activi-
ties Council (SAC) will soon become
extinct
A new group, consisting of
students appointed by the admini-
stration, will replace the old council.
The Student Advisory Council
was formed following a decision by
the current council to have an ap-
pointed group.
“We decided it would be better
to have an appointed group,” Dr. Paula
Vastine, director of student develop-
ment services and advisor to the
group, said.
SAC’s decision came after re-
ceiving little support for the group
this semester.
“We had some response, but I
wasn’t able to devote much time to
it,” Dr. Vastine said.
“We didn’t have enough sup-
port,” she said, adding that she “never
expected 100 percent involvement”
from the NE Campus student body.
Dr. Vastine plans to have Dr.
Herman Crow, president of NE
Campus, request that club advisors
appoint members to the new council
from within their organizations.
However, at press time, no
decision had been reached.
Five at-large members will also
serve on the council.
Dr. Vastine said that appoint-
ments would be only for the first year
of the council, with elections held for
the second year.
“It’s always been hard to get
students involved in new things,” she
said.
“We want to make it something
Building facelift completed
South administration moves into refurbished quarters
Renovations on the original
administration building on South
Campus were completed two weeks
ago, and President Charles McKin-
ney said in a recent interview that
everyone in the new building is set-
tling into the new offices quickly.
The building, constructed in
1966, initially housed the president’s
office, offices for dean of instruction
and dean of students, counseling, the
bursar’s office and the registrar’s of-
fice.
“Later, renovations were made
in the Office Occupations Building
to take on some of those functions,"
Dr. McKinney said.
"It became the Administration
Service Building and included the
bursar and registration facilities,” he
said.

Restorations on the present
administration building have ex-
panded space for counseling and
testing, as well as offices for the
deans and the president.
“We needed much more room
for counseling and testing, and with
this re-designing, that has been ac-
complished,” Dr. McKinney said.
Dr. McKinney said he is
pleased with the new look of the
building.
E. Horn Construction of Fort
Worth contracted the renovations,
Wayne Wilks, director of planning,
said.
“Total cost for the renovations
came to approximately $444,000,”
he said.
Work on the new facilities
began May 11 and was completed in
mid-November.
the students will be proud to be in,”
she said.
Dr. Vastine hopes that during
council meetings, students will give
some advice on how the student serv-
ice fees are spent.
“It (the council) will give stu-
dents a direct voice in making deci-
sions,” she said, calling the new
members “consumer advocates” for
the student body.
Tom Leggett, current SAC
president and chairman for the new
council, considers the group a “bridge
between the students and the fac-
ulty.”
“We hope to help the faculty
get a bettter understanding of what
we want here,” Leggett said.
“If students want a voice, they
need to join,” he said.
A Dec. 5 SAC luncheon will be
the first meeting for the new student
group.
